Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Thanks just made a quick comment to my wife and she is all about it now.
2 flights a day 4 hours each way makes it look like a lga-dfw commute.

Thanks for the insight...not a gringo and neither is my wife we both speak Spanish (both from S. America)

We will go on vacation and see if the beauty of the mountains and the beach and the lifestyle make us think about it in a couple of years maybe do it.

You are a Gringo if you have money and come from the US. Theft is out of control in Costa Rica.

I was born in Trinidad and lived in BA and CCS as a kid, my Grandmother was from SJU. I speak spanish pretty close to fluently and you are correct to a point. The first thing you do is find out who the Jefe de Policia is and do your best to befriend him.. Most ladrones and bandito pendejos won't mess with you.

Net increase in # of Captains? What document are you using to validate that number?

A document straight from crew resources. I tried to post it but could not make it format. Posters said I was lying anyway yet as always could offer none of their own data. I will try again to post. Yea, success!

I actually in the original post added in retirements. What is even more remarkable about the numbers is that the growth really did not begin until last October as it was always scheduled. Consider what that means for the next 18 months.

Hey guys, has anyone moved across the country lately? We are moving from ATL to the west coast this summer and I want to know my options. Full service? Rent truck? Ship cars? Etc... PM me with costs and how you did it if anyone has recent experience with this.

Thanks

Update to those numbers. New AE out with 35 more captains. Number now 565 Captains awards since July 2012.

747 Seat reconfiguration

This September, the 747 upper deck seats will be removed and replaced with 60 Comfort Econ seats. Mods to be quick and all air frames done inside four months, or so they say. Crews coming out of the bunk, trying to use the biffy before going up front are going to cause a small riot! Total seating to be in the 430 range!

Forget non-reving in FC anymore...

And yet you just got finished stating that you accounted for retirements in said number... (facepalm) I'll let you figure out your faux pas.

Definitely feeling it here. QOL through bidding options, pay and time off have increased dramatically. I know we have had our disagreements in the past but things are, finally, moving along nicely.
^ getting out of the bottom 2-3% has been huge.
